Hey ppls.

Well, I'm now starting my next project after the Radiator guides.

I'm going to be making up a bunch of aluminium pipes from the Air Flow Meter to the mouth of the turbo.

Reason?

It is well documented that at boost levels of around 0.9 bar, the standard rubber pipe can suck closed, resulting in everything you would expect to happen with bugger all air getting into the engine.

Also, in hot weather this phenomenon will happen easier as the pipe heats up and becomes softer.

Solution?

I'm making up a section of pipe that will 'splice' into the standard AFM to Turbo duct. You will simply cut the standard Rubber Duct and remove a small section of rib, then insert the section of pipe, then clamp up the pipe and reinstall the new duct.

Construction?

Mandrel bent pieces aluminium, in a raw finsih, TIG welded. No polishing will be done, but if you want to do it when you recieve your pipe, the aluminum is ready for it. There will be sufficient pipe at either end to give a good seal to to the air. The best finish will probably be either anodised or powder coated. I would recommend podwer coating personally.

Currently the R32 and R33 rubber ducts are down at the fabricators being prototyped, and I expect a sample of each back early next week (24th - 26th January 2005)

Not sure of the final price until I get the samples back.

The standard duct will not be able to be returned to standard after fitting the new section of pipe, but the duct will be such that it will be virtually invisible to the untrained eye.

They will fit in a TNT Airbag, so freight anywhere in the country will be $15.

Maybe if somebody in each state wants to be a distributor the freight can be greatly reduced.

So, who's interested??

Please advise your model of car.

Very interested but I can't say for sure until I have a closer look at my intake and see how exactly my pod has been fitted.

But after the last group buy I can highly recommend Bass's work. Great quality air guide and lotsa communication as to progress etc.

Hey guys.

Regarding the location of POD filters and the like, I think with a simply modification to the filter bracket, any misalignment issues would be sorted out.

When I fitted my Pod filter (fully boxed off Mr. Plod) the location of the AFM was very very similar to the standard location.

Obviously when I make up the AFM pipes, I will put my standard Airbox back on to make sure everything is spot on.

Different AFM sizes??? Internaly they are the same.

Different Colour Silicone.... I might well be working with Shift Performance or somebody like that for them, so you will be able to request different colours. I'm making mine black with black pipes.

Also, I may be able to powder coat or anodise the pipes if you want to match engine bays, but obviously these things will cost extra and it's something I can only do if a few people want to do it (anodising that is). Powder coating will be easy.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
